There are several types of training available, including:

• Classroom instruction in grammar, vocabulary, etc.;
• Conversation groups, which give you a chance to practice speaking and listening to others; and,
• Help with reducing an accent that interferes with your ability to communicate clearly in English.

SER also recommends that you talk to the staff at one of the many community and multicultural organizations in the DC metropolitan area that assist folks from other areas with language, employment, and other needs.
